Man the moral degradation is off the charts. Prediction markets are easily the worst things to grace the internet by far and its not even close.

HAH!

Also, thanks a lot for building this utility. I've typically used mac's builtin "Preview" app to do some basic PDF operations like deleting some pages and merging two pdfs, but doing so on windows required using some sketchy websites.

I think this bit gives it up:

> And now, with Iran's nuclear ambitions supposedly neutralized in a single blow, we can all relax. The threat is gone. No strategic aftershocks, no long term consequences, no unintended escalation. Just peace, stability, and a region completely satisfied with the outcome.

Sounds like sarcasm to me.

> When coming from telephony and high availability [world]

That's a good point, its pretty easy to forget BEAM's heritage from the telecom world. The defaults on the VM are for that use-case, I'm so used to thinking of everything from a web perspective that I didn't even consider this, despite knowing of its history.

been reading / work with elixir and was interested in finding out the cause of high cpu usage.

TLDR: BEAM VM uses busy waiting under the hood to achieve fast response time when dealing with requests. you can disable it by setting a few options in the VM.

Edit: Interesting thing here is that there's no significant latency difference when toggling busy/wait, so not sure why that's the default.
